Gatsby Charitable Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gatsby Charitable Foundation is an endowed grant-making trust, based in London. The organisation is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, set up to provide funding for charitable causes. Although the organisation is pemitted in its Trust Deed to make general grants within this broad area, its activities have generally been restricted to a limited number of fields. At the time of writing, these fields are:
- Technical education
- Plant science
- Cognitive neuroscience
- Mental health
- Disadvantaged children
- Local economic renewal
- Environmentally sustainable development and poverty alleviation in developing countries
- The arts
However, these categories may change from time to time. Amongst its activities, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation funds the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit [1] at University College London.
